Application of β-shaped intracorporeal Roux-en-y reconstruction in totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy / 中华胃肠外科杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the technical feasibility, safety, and clinical efficacy of β-shaped Roux-en-Y reconstruction(β reconstruction) in totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Clinical data of 21 patients with gastric cancer undergoing TLDG with β reconstruction from January 2014 to May 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>TLDG with β reconstruction was successfully performed in all the patients. The mean time of operation and β reconstruction was (229.0±18.7) min and (27.5±4.2) min. The blood loss was (91.0±38.3) ml and number of dissected lymph node was 33.2±4.6 per patient. The length of upper and lower segment of resection from lesion was (5.9±0.4) cm and (3.2±0.8) cm. The average time to resume fluid diet, time to restore flatus and hospital stay were (2.1±0.8) d, (3.1±0.9) d and (5.9±2.4) d, respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The β reconstruction is a safe and feasible procedure for TLDG and provides satisfactory short-term efficacy.</p>
